DNA methylation signal of birthweight generalizes to high-risk pregnancies and is independent of genetic, maternal, and obstetric factors: a twin study

2026-08-28

Abstract excerpt

Background. DNA methylation patterns in cord blood are robustly associated with birthweight in the general population. However, it remains unknown whether these associations extend to clinically relevant populations, such as preterm neonates or those born small for gestational age, and whether they directly reflect birthweight or are driven indirectly by genetic, familial, maternal, and obstetric factors. Methods...
